Scrached CD disc anything i can do??

Question

okay i have a ps2 game that was really badly scratched and it just froze before you could even log in. i read somewhere that you cover it in toothpaste then rub it with a toothbrush in a circular motion. i did this and now my disc has millions of tiny little scratches over it and wont even load. is it gone forever? or is there something i can do??

Answer 1

well whoever told you to use a toothbrush is an idiot, youre supposed to just rub some non abrasive toothpast on the disc, wait a little while and gently wipe it off with a tissue/and or some type of soft cloth, since there are a million sratches, youre probly screwed, you may be able to find some type of cd repair kit or something....sorry

Answer 2

If you live in the uk take it in to any game store, they will fit it for you. Not sure what the price is though.

Answer 3

you could pour 2 or 3 drops of cologne and rub it on a soft dry cloth.it should work out.  that is what i did for my Jak 3 and spiderman 2

Answer 4

the toothpaste trick.

you put some toothpaste (the kind without the "sand") and rub it on the back of the disk with a tissue until it is not visible anymore.

good luck

Answer 5

put tooth paste on it rub it in and then let it sit a minute then wash it off and it should work

Answer 6

try putting it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes seriously the cold contracts  the disc then wipe it with tissuse i used to do it all the time it works

Answer 7

i think there is a polish you can use to fill in small scratches. i think your in a good place to ask I'm sure someone will come up with an exact answer. good luck
